Murray, Maura – Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Sage is an open-source software package that can be used in many different areas of mathematics, ranging from algebra to calculus and beyond. One of the most exciting pedagogical features of Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) is its ability to create interacts--interactive examples that can be used in a classroom demonstration or by students in a…

Fischer, Frederic – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Presents three problems, each with a computer solution in BASIC programming language: (1) finding sum equals product for three-digit numbers; (2) finding cases of improper cancellation that give a correct answer; and (3) finding perfect numbers. Some suggestions for further investigation are included. (JN)

Wallace, Edward D.; Chance, Joseph E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Described is a simple algorithm that can be used for the input, arithmetic manipulation, and output of large integers in their exact representations. Three BASIC programs are included that apply this method to the problem of multiplication of large integers, computation of factorials, and the generation of palindromic integers. (MNS)
